Need help with identifying some lace

I apologize if I have put this in the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put it.

One of ladies in our quilt guild brought these handmade lace pieces that were for a table or runner. She does not know what it is. I suspect it may be Cluny lace but am really not certain. I was found in her grandmothers things partially assembled the fabric appears to be silk. I am enclosing some pictures.

Melinda; I would post these photos on Martha Pullens Forums as her sewing methods are all heirloom techniques. www.marthapullen.com click on message boards and post there. HTH
